Yeah definite must watch for me.

AFAIK, the only childhood friends are side characters, the senpais. And unfortunately, they don't seem very interested in each other (*gasp* what has Japan come to? at least one sided crush please >_>)

Of course, there's ALWAYS hope that ShiinaXKanda are 'forgotten' childhood friends, but it's a VERY long shot.

Ai Kayano as a quiet girl again? And a male lead with an inexperienced voice actor whose major and recent roles have been crossdressers, little boys, and feminine males generally? Dear god, that's even worse than Yuuki Kaji.

With the premise on top of that... might have to pass on this one.

Yoshitsugu's recent roles:
- Narumi in Kamisama no Memo-chou.
- Kusanagi Godou in Campione! CD Drama and the same voice for the anime.
- Kirito in SWORD ART ONLINE

Are you serious?

Man, are you sexist when you read that premise about a guy making his newfound girlfriend as his "pet" ?

The first is an exception, admittedly, but he did the opposite of impress me. I don't know anything about Godou, but Kirito is exceptionally feminine. While that's fine in SAO, because of how amazingly, ridiculously competent Kirito is, it doesn't bode well for this kind of show at all.

It's the whole "this girl can't look after herself she's so innocent wouldn't you want a girlfriend like that" factor that I can't stand.

I like the staff, I like the art, I like (some) of the VAs, I like romances...

I see no reason not to give this a try.

Well some people are turned off by the fact it's a JC Staff LN adaptation, with Mari Okada on series composition with an inexperienced director. So not only does it have the derogatory factor of JC Staff LN adaptation, it also has the most prolific egotistical writer in the industry who is infamous for trolling and randomly likes to put males in drags... because she can. And we don't have a director with balls (like Nagai) to keep a hold on Okada's fetishes.

I'm gonna give it a shot... but I will approach this with extreme caution.

This isn't something especially specific to Okada.

It isn't, but considering she's done so in every single series she's been involved in the past year and a half (and she's scripted a fuckton of series, both anime originals and adaptations), I'm confident to say she has a crossdressing fetish. Ok... maybe not Black Rock Shooter, but that series was lolsy/retarded (you're mileage may vary) for a different reason.

The most random one being episode 6 of Lupin III... that was completely out of place. Funny enough, involved Yuki Kaiji

Does this seem like the kind of series that would get a two cour adaptation, or is it probably just going to be one cour?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my memory serves correct there's no man in drag in these series from 2011 on...

Aquarion Evol
Fractale
Kenshin OVA

Maybe Okada puts crossdressers more often than other writers (nothing wrong there per se), but I wouldn't say she puts it in every one of her shows.

He never said anything resembling that.

Ah, ah, I get what this is about. It's about Hourou Musukou and AnoHana. No wonder.

Honestly I think it's just a coincidence, and again, there are plenty of other series that emasculate male characters in a variety of horrible ways. I think this is an issue with the industry rather than an issue with Okada herself.

Speaking of which, and perhaps being a lot more on-topic, what happened to male leads that actually looked and sounded, you know, male? That's my biggest problem with the lead's voice actor in Pet na Kanojo.

Yeah, that was actually my favorite series of winter season by far and I will never understand the IMMENSE hatred it managed to accumulate.

Well, it's a light novel adaptation, what do you think?

I'll say this again so 0utf0xZer0 doesn't have to say it again.
Last time Okada did an adaptation for a show produced by JC staff she took out a crossdressing scene that was in the original work.

As for the male lead,he sounds pretty male in Moretsu Pirates, though that's just a supporting role.

edit:And why are we even talking about crossdressing?Is there any in the LN?I doubt it'll be randomly added to the anime.

I'm pretty sure Cain had some weird thong fetish in Fractale. In EVOL, crossdressing aside, that's one of her trollest anime to date (which results to some weird straightforward campiness).
